Get Fit With Val

Here are some cost free ways you can start an exercise program with little distraction to your work or home schedule.

• Park farther away from your office so you have to walk more. You will be surprised at how these steps add up.
• Instead of riding the elevator, walk the stairs. If you have many flights to your office, start with a couple then ride the elevator the rest of the way up. Aim at increasing 1 flight per week. When this gets easy, start to stepping every other step. This is an awesome workout for your buns and thighs! Just think of the bragging rights you will have to share with fellow employees.
• Bring healthy munchies to work with you. If you don’t eat breakfast or if you push yourself to a “very hungry” state, then you will devour everything in sight when you get to lunch. Usually you will be more tempted to eat the bad stuff because you are so hungry.
• Bring your tennis shoes with you into the office. At lunch go for a walk or walk to the closest restaurant for lunch instead of driving.
• Enlist fellow co-workers or friends to help motivate each other on a daily basis.
• Have your tennis shoes on by the time you get home and as soon as you arrive, start walking before you even go into the house. If you go in the house first, the chances of being distracted or lured away from your walk or run are greater.
• Set out your workout clothes the night before so that when you wake up just slip them on and go straight out the door for your walk or run.
  
• Don’t forget to bring plenty of water!
• Most important: When you feel the urge to quit or procrastinate, remind yourself of how you want to look and remember how good and proud of yourself you’ll feel when you do.
